What Makes a Panel Bed Unique?

With a Panel Bed, the large face panel folds down and becomes the bottom of the bed. Unlike traditional Murphy Beds, there are no cabinet doors to swing open – just a clean, modern design.

What’s Included in the Kit

  • Steel Bed Frame (SBF): Powder-coated, reinforced with stiffeners & fold-away legs
  • Spring Balance Lift Mechanism (SBLM): Side-mounted lift system for easy use
  • 18 Springs: Adjustable combinations for different mattress weights

  • Vertical or Horizontal Mount: Install either orientation with included hardware

Note: No wood or cabinetry is included in this kit.

DIY Made Simple

Every kit includes detailed instructions, a cabinetry cut list, and video guides. With basic tools and your own materials, you can create a professional-quality Murphy Bed at a fraction of the cost.

Great instructions!!!

the instructions for this kit are really good, I did this over the course of a week and was able to get it all done without any issues. My only complaint is that the stiffener bar's dont attach to the bed frame, so the wood is a bit creaky when you first lay down. I think having a stiffer frame would be better, but overall it's great!

MurphyBedDepot

Thank you for your purchase! One cause for creaking is if the panels are butted up next to each other and rubbing when weight is put on the bed. One fix is to place tile spacers between the panels, leaving about a 1/8" gap to allow for flexing. Always feel free to call us for technical support!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are your complete Murphy Panel Bed systems available in king size?
Yes, our complete St Augustine, Daytona, Bahama Shaker, and Sofa and Panel Bed Ensemble Murphy Panel Bed systems are available in king size.
Are your products available in horizontal king size or California king size?
Our products are NOT available in horizontal king size or California king size.
Are your complete Murphy Panel Bed systems able to be modified to be shorter than the dimensions listed on the product’s webpage?
Yes, you can install your complete Murphy Panel Bed system below the top (instead of above the top, which is the optimal installation method) and modify your order to shorten the total cabinet height by 3,” removing the top valance for a modification fee of $150 per cabinet. You can also modify your order for our complete queen-size Murphy Panel Bed system to shorten the total cabinet height by 5” to be a short queen (RV short queen) for a modification fee of $150 per cabinet, which requires a short queen mattress (you can order this 10” Medium Memory Foam Mattress in the short queen size).
What mattress would you recommend for your complete Murphy Panel Bed systems?
The 10” Medium Memory Foam Mattress that you can order from us works well in all of our complete Murphy Panel Bed systems.
Will my mattress work with your complete Murphy Panel Bed systems?
Yes, your mattress can work with our complete Murphy Panel Bed systems if it passes the following tests. First, if you can physically measure your mattress thickness (at its thickest point), both when it is lying down or standing on end, and that thickest measurement is 11” or less. Second, if when you stand your mattress on end, it stands up rigid without sagging or doubling over. We do NOT recommend latex and hybrid mattresses. Our 10” Medium Memory Foam Mattress has been put to these tests and passed both of these tests working very well with our complete Murphy Panel Bed systems.
